Friday, the day of Reagan's funeral, has been designated a national day of
mourning. In making the designation, Bush said: "I call on the American
people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there
to pay homage to the memory of President Reagan. I invite the people of the
world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance."

The government shutdown will not apply to "those offices and installations,
or parts thereof, in the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the
Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, or other departments,
independent establishments, and governmental agencies that the heads thereof
determine should remain open for reasons of national security or defense or
other essential public business."

Reagan's body will lie in repose at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
in Simi Valley, California, through Tuesday. Here's is the schedule of funeral
events for the remainder of the week, including Friday's burial services:
